Hi
Looking for info on a german gunmaker named Heinrich Scherping
from the little I have read, he was listed in the NEUER STOECKEL,
a gunmakers directory that ends 1900: "Heinrich Scherping" located in Guestrow in Mecklemburg and in Hanover,Germany. Mentioned between 1831 and 1913. He is listed as a gunmaker to the court in Guestrow, and in 1913 in Hanover. He became a member of the blacksmith guild in 1862 and 2 former addresses are given.
I have seen his guns from the 1880s to the late 1920s. I personally own one of his drillings, a 98 mauser, & a 22 cal target pistol.I certainly would appreciate any info on this fine maker or info on any of his guns.
thanks
Mike
